Natural Shampoos and Rituals in Traditional Chinese Hair Care
Long ago, hair was not just hair. It was a daily duty. Women brushed it, braided it, pinned it, and washed it with patience. No plastic bottle sat on the shelf. No electric dryer hummed. A basin, a comb, clean water, and time did the work. They called washing the head Mu (沐). Washing the
